The Pioneers 10 Parade ON the
Fourth.

The Native Sons of the Golden West
have sent out invitations to all of the
known California Pioneers in Los An.
geles to parade with them as their guests
on the Fourth of July. Following is
copy of the invitation.
HALL OF THE NATIVE SoNs)
OF THE GOLDEN WEST.
Los ANGELES, June q, 1887.
DEAR SIR:-In turning back the leaves
in the early history of our city, we find
among the honored men who came as
pioneers to this country, your name. 1t
is the desire of the Native Sons to espec.
ially honor every Pioneer who is yet
living, many of them have passed into
the shadow land of death. Relentless
time has not spared them, but to those
who are yet spared to California, the
Native Sons desire to show their appre.
citation of the efforts of the Pioneers 10
behalf of California when she most
needed assistance.
1t is their intention to assist in the
coming celebration on the Fourth of
July, and they would feel especially
honored with your presence as one OF
their guests. Carriages have been pro-
vided for your convenience. Will you
kindly inform the undersigned, in case
YOU desire to assist the Native Sons, at
what hour carriage can call for you.
on the Fourth of July.
Respectfully yours,
r. F. DEL VALE,

Pres. Los Angeles Parlor As, N. S. G. W.
The Native Sons request us to sug.
gest to the Forty-niners that they as
semble in the City Council Chambers on
Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, to take
such action as will be found necessary
to make as full representation of their
members in the procession as possible.
The living representatives of the found
ers of this great State will form one OF
the most interesting features of the
parade.
Whilst we are on this subject, it
seems to US that it would be well for
the Pioneers to discuss, at that meeting,
the propriety of organizing branch. or
district organization, in Los Angeles.
Perhaps no place in the State has
among its residents larger proportion
of pioneers. according to its population,
than Los Angeles. The men who came
here in lS49 and previous years are
rapidly passing away, and nothing
would more tend to cement the friend.
ship and preserve the memories of those
early days than for those who are yet
sojourning in the State they brought out
of the wilderness to get together in a
permanent organization.

Care of Fruit Trees.

The important question with the fruit garden

their wholesale destruction seem to prove fail

ual destruction. The different kinds OF moths
and flies may be entrapped by the thousand in

The curculio. whose most tempting allurements
do not lie like moths in the way of sweet food,
but in finding nice juicy nest or resting place
for the deposit of eggs wherewitn to perpetuate
it's species, be slain by the hundreds
through perseverance in the shaking pro-
cess. A snag, made by saving off a
small branch few inches from the main trunk
of the tree should be secured each on the
point of which to hammer or otherwise the bark
OF the tree would be irreparably in ured. With
a sheet spread under the tree aud a sharp, quick
jar with hammer all the pests then on the tree
may be secured and destroyed The curculios
are rather lazily inclined. but still few will
coma from your neignbors' trees. though few
Earrings occasionally will keep them down. Ex-
perience has shown that this course which only
demands little labor, is much more effectua
than the thousand schemes that lave been de-
vised for hanging various charms about the
branches.

EXPECTING TO STRIKE GAS.
Drillers on the Harris Farm Reach Trenton
Rock, and Find Encouraging Indications.

Yesterday afternoon word came to the city
that the drillers at the we'll on the Harris farm
thir teen miles out on the Noblesville pike, were
rapidly approaching Trenton rock, and expected
to strike that formation before the sun went
down. This caused some excitement among the
members of the Indianapolis Natural-cas Com
pany, and Messrs. e. B. Mar.indale, George F.
Branham, G. r. Root and a Journal reporter
drove out to the spot The drill has been at
work in this well for fourteen days, and for the
past three days the indications of gas strike
have been very flattering
At 430 o'clock in the afternoon the drill was
down 82l feet, and boring at the rate of seven
feet an hour. AS the drill proceeds the slate be-
comes darker, which the gas men consider a
favorable Indication the color being darker than
that of the Brlghtwood and Broad Ripple wells.
and being like that of the Wainwright well at
Noblesvile. There was faint odor of carbon
oil about the drill as it up from the great
depths, and when the slate was washed the
water showed thin iridescent film, denoting
oil The fact that this slate was struck at nearly
sixty feet less depth than at Brightwood is
another good sign. and leads the gas men to be-
lieve that gas will be struck at about the same
depth as found at Noblesville. and that the Har-
ris farm well will prove gusher.
Judge Martindale was confident that at the
rate the drill was going yesterday afternoon
Trenton rock would be struck by 10 o'clock last
night and that very slight penetration of the
rock would yield gas. In case gas should be
struck at night the work would be shut down
until daylight this morning, il would be
safe to continue it with lights about it. There
were many visitors from about the neighbor-
hood, majoritysbeng women and children, at
the derrick yesterday, anxious to get informa-
ton regarding the prospect of striking gas at
that point.
To-day's drilling will tell the story as to
whether the Harris farm we'll is
whether further remove toward Noblesville
will have to be mads.
